Description Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2016-04-11 12:36:59 UTC
Description of problem:
I installed a minimal f24 nightly (20160409 everything netinst) as a kvm guest and just selected the 'hawaii' desktop; on boot it landed me in a graphical login (with Openbox selected in the dropdown at the top left).  However no input worked - mouse/keyboard nothing.
I noticed that the xorg-x11-drv-evdev  package wasn't installed; installing it fixed the problem.

My guess is that since I only asked for a Wayland desktop it didn't bother with 
the full dependencies for X; but it seems to have the fall back for the graphical login but that's incomplete.
I also guess that since I'm using qxl graphics card in kvm Wayland isn't liking it and falling back to X, but I haven't dug to figure out why.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.10.1-2.fc24.x86_64
(OK, so the bugs in whatever should have the dependency but I'm not sure what to report that against)


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
An X login (sddm?) that wouldn't respond to any input.

Expected results:
Either:
   a) It has enough to let me login in the graphical X login
or b) It doesn't bother providing a graphical X fallback

I can confirm the problem (SDDM login screen is completely unresponsive after starting) and the solution (install xorg-x11-drv-evdev).

I was using a stable release of the Fedora 25 net installer image, but otherwise I believe my issue, setup, and solution were the same.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Carlos Maiolino 2017-07-27 20:32:16 UTC
I'm moving this bug to Version 26.

This is still an issue in Fedora 26, Hawaii desktop installation is missing xorg-x11-drv-evdev as a dependency, and kbd/mouse doesn't work after a fresh install.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:54:19 UTC
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
